【解析】

這篇短文主要描述了一個小男孩將一只毛毛蟲喂養(yǎng)成蝴蝶之后，小男孩想要將他放飛，但是每次蝴蝶都會自己飛回來。因此，作者感悟到人類和動物一樣，都不愿意離開媽媽溫暖舒適的懷抱。但是，如果我們不改變環(huán)境就不會見到新的事物。

【1】

句意：每天，他都會喂它很多新鮮的草和樹葉。

考查動詞。caught抓�。�fed喂養(yǎng)；put放。根據he…it fresh grass and leaves，可知是指他喂它新鮮的草和樹葉，feed sb sth喂養(yǎng)某人某物，故選B。

【2】

句意：幾周后，毛毛蟲變得胖胖的，已經準備睡覺了。

考查形容詞。fat胖的；new新的；alive活著的。根據上一句Each day, he ___1___ it plenty of fresh grass and leaves.，可知每天喂養(yǎng)毛毛蟲，所以毛毛蟲變得胖胖的，故選A。

【3】

句意：賈斯汀感到興奮。

考查形容詞。sad難過的；scared恐懼的；excited激動的。根據He knew a moth（蛾子） or butterfly was about to be born.他知道毛毛蟲快要變成蝴蝶或蛾子了，所以感到興奮。故選C。

【4】

句意：繭已經變清了，我們可以看到里面的翅膀了。

考查名詞。eggs雞蛋；wings翅膀；birds 鳥。根據The cocoon had become clear and we could see …inside，推出是指：能看到繭里面的翅膀，其他三個選項都不符合題意，故選B。

【5】

句意：它繞著院子轉了兩圈，回來了，落在賈斯汀的胳膊上。

考查動詞。started開始；landed降落；jumped跳。根據 on Justin's arm，蛾子降落在賈斯汀的手臂上，land on降落在……。故選B。

【6】

句意：他一遍又一遍地試著把它放飛，但每次，它都會回到他的手臂上。

考查副詞。back向后的；free自由的；off 脫離的，根據Justin picked it up，let it go into the air，可知賈斯廷把它撿起來，讓它飛到空中，推出是想給它自由，set…free使……自由。故選B。

【7】

句意：我相信飛蛾，就像人一樣，害怕離開一直和它在一起的東西。

考查動詞。drop落下；stay停留；leave離開。根據后一句It wanted to stay with something familiar，and was scared to move on and experience ___8___ things.它想要和一些熟悉的東西呆在一起，害怕繼續(xù)前進，體驗新的東西。推出此處是指：它害怕離開。故選C。

【8】

句意：它想和一些熟悉的事物呆在一起，害怕繼續(xù)前進，體驗那些新的東西。

考查形容詞。new新的；bad壞的；wild野生的。根據It wanted to stay with something familiar，and was scared to move on 它想要和一些熟悉的東西呆在一起，害怕繼續(xù)前進，推出它害怕體驗新的東西。故選A。

【9】

句意：我曾經是嚇得不敢動的小飛蛾。

考查副詞。often經常；never從不；once曾經。根據I was …that little moth and felt scared to move，結合后文意思“但是如果我不繼續(xù)前行，我也不會有今天這番經歷”，推出句意：我曾經是嚇得不敢動的小飛蛾。故選C。

【10】

句意：但是如果我不繼續(xù)前行，我也不會有看到我兒子經歷生命的輪回。

考查動詞。went去；moved移動；flew 飛。根據But if I hadn't…，I wouldn't have been able to watch my wonderful son experience the cycle（循環(huán)）of life.結合前文 felt scared to move嚇得不敢動，可知意思是指：但是如果我不繼續(xù)前行，我也不會有今天這番經歷。故選B。
